Alan Maniscalco  and Shan Wickham, proprietors of The Lucky Horseshoe Lounge and Rally Pizza, join us to talk about their new spot on Clinton as well as Rally Pizza's residence at Victor 23 Brewing.  We also talk about Alan's significant history as co-founder of Ken's Artisan Pizza    Brief bios:   Shan grew up in Des Moines, Iowa. She graduated from the University of Iowa, where she worked as a librarian before moving to San Francisco to attend California Culinary Academy’s Baking and Pastry program. Alan grew up in San Jose, California, as part of a large Italian-American family. He became a bread baker in his early twenties, first in Portland and then Phoenix, AZ.  Alan and Shan met working at Restaurant Zibibbo in Palo Alto, CA. They’ve worked almost exclusively as a team ever since, they moved to Portland with their daughter Sage in 2003. Alan worked as Production Manager at Ken’s Artisan Bakery before co-founding Ken’s Artisan Pizza in Portland, Oregon, where he was the Executive Chef from 2006-2016. Shan was a Team Leader at Whole Foods until 2006, then Pastry Chef at Ken’s Artisan Pizza from 2006-2013. In September 2016, Shan and Alan opened Rally Pizza in central Vancouver, Washington, which has since evolved into a residency at Victor 23 Brewing.  In 2023, they opened Lucky Horseshoe Lounge, where their daughter Sage completes the family trifecta as its chef.    luckyhorseshoeportland.com/ Insta:  @luckyhorseshoeportland
